transporting bikes in a transit

sold the pickup so will be transporting the 2 bikes to track in a hire van (presumably a transit)

just checking what the situ is regarding tie down points etc. easy enough to strap down to the bulkhead or is more required (like wheel chocks)?

most vans have a fair few tie down points but not all, these are well worth the money…

I’m going to Kendal in April and was thinking of getting a van to put the bike in as well. I’ll be looking more closely into it. If you do it soon then please let us know how it goes :smiley:

Cheers Adz. Are there any vans that definitely do have the points?

Agree that that kind of chock would be good. It’s just a question of cost and more of where to store them I guess.

Ford and Mercs defo have tie down points, top and bottom. I’m cheap so I’d make a frame from 2" by 2" timber that would lie on the floor and have space for the wheel to slot into. £10 should do it :smiley:

yep my sprinter came with loads of tie down points

Hi there,

ive rented a couple of transits for trackdays. Both of them had 6 tie down points in the loading bay:

2 at the front on each side

2 on the rear ant each side

1 on each wheel box.
